Some cried sensationalism; others felt that the longstanding claims that the Times staff is a hyperliberal cabal had been vindicated. One disillusioned conservative wrote: “There’s nothing wrong with investigative reporting, especially on presidential candidates, but it doesn’t seem that this investigation produced anything substantive.” Another offered something more incisive: “rush limbagh [sic] is right...
...least since 1963, when British colonial farmers sold their properties to wealthy Kikuyus, allowing them to encroach on the ancestral land of Luos, Kalenjins and others in the Rift Valley.

Some local commentators fear the transfer of Zoé's Ark staffers back to France could set off another round of anti-French and anti-government rioting such as that witnessed ahead of the trial. At those riots, Chadians vented anger...
